The motion was voted and passed.

Helen & Cindy will research how broken stones might be fixed. Barbara will do research for a cleaner that can be used on the stones.

There was discussion about the increased expense for mowing. Helen explained that in addition to the mowing, there were woodchuck holes that were filled and work was done on the back corner bushes.

The association's annual income from the Waugh Trust decreased to $2,680.07 due to the economy. All agreed that the association will need to be more cautious about spending.

New Business:

It was asked where the bank records can be stored, and also, how long does the association need to retain them. None of the members knew the answer but it can be researched.

Fencing: Sections of the fencing is broken and there is rust where it had been broken previously. Helen will ask Alan Harville about fixing or reinforcing it. It was voted to authorize Helen to spend up to $500 to repair the fencing.

The meeting was adjourned.

Respectfully submitted,

Debbie Byrnes, Secretary
